Following the recent Facebook privacy scandal, have you changed your behaviour on Facebook? Are you conscious about how much you share and are you worried about your privacy?

I've been using the internet for a long time and I feel like that alters my view on sharing things online. Back 15 years ago, nobody used their real names to chat on forums and message boards, it was all usernames. The younger people nowadays seem to think that it's normal to use your full name online (Facebook, Youtube, Instagram in particular) as well as sharing details like where you go to school or work or pictures and videos of very recognisable landmarks near your house etc etc. Personally, I am still very wary of sharing much online at all. On the flip side, I do understand that websites need to make revenue to exist so that I can use them and that tracking my search and browsing history helps them do this, and I am not really too fussed by that, maybe I should be?
